I had an email yesterday from Louise & Mark Anderson. I could be wrong but I think Louise wrote here under the name "Little Miss PMT" last year. She was the one who's bike was stolen just days after showing us photos of it. Anyway, they're now in business as "Edinburgh Trike Services" & have sent me photos of one of their projects. As she says it's "unashamedly an "Andy Trike"! I've asked them to send in the photos with some explanatory words for the Motors section. I'm quite flattered that they chose to borrow our design but Nige says we should demand recognition as design consultants!  |

Correct Louise is Little Miss PMT. Nearly finished the second instalment of the build and will send to you soon. Have a look at http://www.edinburghtrikeservices.co.uk/technical.html and let me know what you think, more photos and write ups to come.   Done |

Hiya, Lookin' good! That's got some nice lines to it. What's the seat height? Nige & I are handing over a frame to Critch today, (photos later), & I like it so much I'm going to cut up my own frame & rebuild it the same. Similar to yours but with a solo seat & gearstick coming out under it to the left, (see the "Mr Critch" thread). Can you get the engine & box in & out in one piece or do you need to split them? Keep writing & photographicking & I'll ask the very busy Mr Yoda to make up a page in the Motors section for you. Nice to see you back here by the way. |

Seat height should be 17" (with foam) Engine and box can come out in one but is easier in two if you are on your own. Im waiting on a couple of 8mm ball joint to fit the torque arm of the selector lever. Have added a spring to hold the neutral position over 3rd and 4th. Still writing and taking photo's......................published soon. Can you stick a link on your links page for me?

 Have to keep scrolling across the page to view them! Yup, the link is fine. Email Yodie, (his address is on the Contacts page), as he handles all the clever stuff. I just type all the drivel. Would be very interested in seeing your gearchange linkage. Would be worth it's own little section in the Tech bit if you can write some explanatory words & get some good close up shots of it. Yodie's getting very busy these days so it may take a little while for things to get posted but they get there in the end. 17 inches? That's l-o-o-w! Ours are usually around 20 inches but we use solo seat pads that sit up off the frame a little. Lookin' good!

Haven't heard from Les since the Fox & Hounds MCC site closed. Will try & contact him. I use Adobe Photoshop to resize my piccies & could save these, reduce them & repost them, but I'm sure Yodie could do it quicker.
That's an impressive looking set-up!

I think I killed it! Haven't got any old piccies from our youth. You got any we could post in the Old Biker Photos bit?

I'll have a dig around. Trouble is my scanner doesnt work with this computer since it crashed, but I'll see if I can find another way of uploading them
